I still had a stack of old school notebooks and thought they would come in so handy. So I decided to alter one of them, making grocery lists is so much more fun now! Also had to make a matching tag, just for fun. The darling images are from Pion Design and were a gift from my dear friend Sue. Thanks again sweetie! All the lace is from my stash.By the way, did you know that there's a really easy way to import all of your favourite blogs to Bloglovin'? Log in, go to 'settings', go to 'other' and choose 'import blogs' (from Google Reader). Voilà, that's it! This also works perfectly with Feedly, another superb reader that allows you to import all of your favourite blogs from Google Reader! So there's no need to contact your favourite blogs, like this you have them with one push on the button! Good luck!

Not so long ago I made this little French theatre. But of course so much more is going on backstage. Before the show begins, costumes need to be checked and prepared. So I thought it would be totally neat to make a small French ballet cabinet for the ballet tutus. Recently Spellbinders has released some fantastic new dies and I used these to make this cabinet, including the cabinet doors. Why don't you go and check out the new dies @ My Crafty Heart, I ordered them as soon as I saw them! I made the dresses with the beautiful Melissa Frances Ribbons.

And look at the wonderful surprise Odetta had for me? Those amazing sea colours which I love, adorned with beautiful tiny shells and aren't the sea horses adorable?? Thanks again for this great swap Odetta! I enjoyed myself immensely!

Allright, I owe you girls an explanation about my blog title. I've got some very good news, some very happy news! There's going to be a new addition to the family! Oh yes! And no, it's not my DH and I, but my cousin and his girlfriend! We're all so excited and thrilled for the both of them! My darling 6-year-old niece Phoebe really gave such a touching expression to her feelings, she told my sister (her mother):"mummy, my little heart contains all the love for my entire family and I've got more than plenty left for the little baby". Doesn't this make you melt? Of course I already made them a little something, this baby albumcard containing some cute little socks:

Ook lekker aan het genieten van de Pasen? Heerlijk dat we nog een extra dagje vrij hebben! Ben vanmorgen weer bijtijds m'n hobbykamertje ingedoken en heb dit mini- theatertje gemaakt uit kraftpapier. Twee halve cirkels vormen het podium en je kunt 'm net zo hoog of laag maken als je zelf wilt, ligt aan de hoogte van de strip papier die je tussen de twee halve cirkels plakt. Deze prachtige Franse dame heeft haar boa om, de kaartjes zijn verkocht, dus de show kan beginnen! Jullie houden hopelijk wel van Franse muziek? La Vie en Rose? Ik laat het zingen en dansen graag aan deze chansonnière over, dansen lukt me vrij aardig, maar zingen?? Oef... kan ik jullie echt niet aan doen... Maak er weer een mooie dag van!!Did you have a good Easter? We are fortunate in having another day off today! So I woke up early this morning and created this mini theatre out of kraft paper. Two half-circles form the stage, you can make it as high or low as you please, this depends on the desired height of the strip of paper that you glue between the half-circles. This fabulous French lady is wearing her boa, the tickets have been sold, so let the show begin! Hope you like a little bit of French music? La Vie en Rose? I'll leave the dancing and singing to this chansonnière though, I'm not a bad dancer if I may say so, but singing?? Ouch... couldn't do that to you girls... Have a lovely day!!
